When I heard this song, I believed it to be about two people misbehaving or acting dangerously together, like in "Russian Roulette",and on the outside appearing to not really care about the consequences. But they keep their "secrets" close to them about the situation. I think the "Alligator Blood" refers to the narrator being cold-blooded, either emotionless, lacking courage, or both. Because of this, he (or whoever) can't keep his secret hidden very well, "My alligator's blood is starting to show..." He really is feeling suicidal because he can't seem to live life "Show me how to live...help me find a way..." but he thinks in the end he can't be saved, so he tells his friend to "Leave before it's too late.." but there is still that doubt of whether his friend can make it: "Tell me who will make it out alive." So basically, they spiralled out of control. That is my take on the song.
